Project Update
19th Annual DSM-Evo Shootout
In 1999 I made my first trek to the DSM shootout. I traveled down with Chris Wirth, in my 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T and managed to come home with a trophy in the FWD class. I went for 5 consecutive years, meeting some great friends every year and putting some faces to the names of the people whom I had talked with online.

The Return of the X
The car came back to Rochester the last week of July. It was a subtle return from the Great White north, on the back of a trailer. Magnus had succeed in providing a running Evo X once again, back from the ashes.

Operation Phoenix: The Reincarnation
Just got word that the car has breathed life once again. While it has some rehab to go through before it is race approved, it is a good to hear some positive news.
The last couple weeks have been spent making a list of parts, ordering parts, making another list of parts and keeping the shipments going up to Magnus.

Operation Phoenix – The teardown
All you have to do is put the Magnus crew in the same room as the project and the parts needed for the project and magic happens.
I shipped the package of parts up to Magnus last week. With the minor customs delay, the parts successfully arrived yesterday.
Beginning Operation Phoenix
The end of One Lap marks the beginning of the regular track season for most of us. Bringing the car back to life and getting track time isn’t something we can take all year to do. Though the wallet is already strained, paying car payments on a car I can’t drive didn’t sit so well on the home front.
